A photograph of a ceremonial scene under a tent-like canopy. A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, wearing a dark red garment, a gold necklace, a long red and white flower garland, bangles, and a rudraksha mala, raises one hand in greeting and smiles. A standing priest in an orange-red turban and orange-red garment, with a rudraksha mala and bangles, holds a silver oil lamp with a lit flame toward the seated figure. Behind the throne a golden lion sculpture, a silver trident, a silver axe-shaped staff, a decorated ceremonial parasol, and a large floral backdrop of yellow, red and white blossoms are visible. The seated figure resembles Swamiji (probable) based on the distinctive ornate gold jewellery and garland on the throne, and the swept-back dark hair, with the seated figure receiving aarti.
